Description
Summary:A study is made of the radiation of whistler waves with helical phase fronts from nonsymmetric sources immersed in a homogeneous cold magnetoplasma. The emphasis is placed on calculating the radiation resistance of an antenna in the form of two orthogonally crossed circular loops with quadrature-phased currents using an approach that is based on an eigenfunction expansion representation of the excited field. Analytical and numerical results are reported for the radiation characteristics of such an antenna in the whistler range and differences in the behavior of the radiation resistance below and above the lower hybrid resonance frequency are revealed. The results obtained can be useful in understanding the basic features of excitation of twisted whistler waves in a magnetoplasma.
